【Part 1-3真题点评】
Part 1:第一部分,首先还是会通过hometown, accommodation, work/study这些topic对同学进行提问,同学对于这些问题要有准备或比较熟悉,其他的问题,我们可以通过课上介绍的答题的方式,去进行展开,避免One word answer,答案的长短,要看我们问题的类型,有的适合答得长一些,有的不需要答得很多。

Part 2: 这一个部分有50多个题目,同学一一专门准备,可能任务量会比较大,所以,我们同学可以准备一些素材,然后,使用到不同的题目当中,比如,准备一个baking的素材,然后,在skill,gift等题目当中,都是可以使用的,同学们可以结合自己的情况进行搭配,以及一些有难度的题目,也要进行准备。
Part 3:这个部分,对我们同学可能是有一定难度的,问题可能不理解,答题可能没思路或者缺乏逻辑,这些问题都很普遍,同学平时可以去训练自己的cirtical thinking,然后,考官期待的是一个Long detailed answer,答题的时候,要进行有逻辑地展开,这样,才比较能够符合要求,答案要能够自圆其说,平时观点和素材也可以多积累,答题的思路要多熟悉。
后边给到大家比较难的第二部分的问题的sample answer 供大家参考

【范例】
Well…I’d like to talk about my bosom friend XX, who I have known for a few years and we often hang out together, so I know her very well. She is the first person I can think of who speaks a foreign language really well.
XX is a bilingual, the foreign language she is good at is English, which is the language that a lot of students find difficult but XX is really good at. I mean, she got a satisfying result on an English proficiency test which others wouldn’t even pass without a few times of trying.
As to the reason why she learns that language, I think it is down to the tv series she’s been watching these years, which piqued her interest in learning more about the western culture and in order to know more about that, she finds it necessary to learn the language well.
XX speaks English well for the reason that she is a language genius and is talented in speaking English, I mean, she even won the second place in an national English debating competition. Also, XX is a hard-working student. I’ve seen firsthand when she spent most of her days and nights in the classroom enlarging her English vocabulary. Her perseverance and diligence were remarkable.
